Explore the E3 2015 schedule and our predictions about which new games will be unveiled by Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, EA, Bethesda, Square Enix & Ubisoft.

E3 is the biggest gaming event on the tech calendar, and E3 2015 is rapidly approaching. Kicking off on 16 June in Los Angeles, there will be keynotes from all of the major players in the gaming industry, including Microsoft, EA, Ubisoft, Sony and Nintentdo, with new games and hardware expected from each of those companies. Here, we talk you through the E3 2015 schedule and what to expect from each game-maker.

Bethesda at E3 2015: 14 June, 3am BST

For the first time, Bethesda is hosting its own keynote at E3 2015. Bethesda has already taken the wraps off Fallout 4, but we're expecting a better look at the game during Bethesda's keynote on 14 June, and hopefully an idea of a release date. Bethesda has already confirmed that the "world premiere" of the game will take place during its showcase, so we can't wait to see more.

Microsoft: 15 June, 5:30pm BST

Microsoft's press conference will take place on the morning of the 16th June in the US, which is 5:30pm here in the UK.

However, in April, Xbox boss Phil Spencer has confirmed that Microsoft "should have a new exclusive IP at E3," which means an all-new game franchise will be shown off. "This is going to be a fun year," he tweeted. I think it might be our best 1st party content year ever."

Xbox's head of marketing Aaron Greenberg has also said we can expect "a lot of surprises" at E3 this year, and that there will be so far unannounced games shown off that will be available to buy this year.

Heavyweight games maker EA is next up on the press conference schedule at 8:30pm here in the UK, which is 1pm local time.

It's just been revealed that EA will put its prequel to Mirror's Edge in the spotlight during the event, after first announcing the development of the game two years ago. The game will be called Mirror's Edge: Catalyst.
